Magic is a funny beast in Fedran. Using some of the concepts I got from my various religion classes in college, I decided that no one actually knows how magic works. While there are some consistent rules that are evolving as I write, no technique or system that encompasses everything. That goes for

World-Building - Hidanork Land Magic #WorldBuildingWednesday
https://d.moonfire.us/blog/2019/12/04-land-magic/

The whole idea of the United Hidanork Tribes started with Elizabeth Moon's The Deeds of Paksenarrion. It was the first time I heard of the term taig to refer to the land itself as a distinct being capable of magic and awareness. I'm not sure about the history of the word (and my Google search isn't

World-Building - Tent Pole Development #WorldBuildingWednesday
https://d.moonfire.us/blog/2019/11/27-tent-poles/

For this week's world-building post, I want to talk about tent poles. In this case, I'm not talking about the ones under a circus tent but ways of exploring the world through fiction and documentation (writing dictionary or encyclopedia entries).

DreamHost is trying to tell me I can host my own Minecraft server for the low, low cost of $149/month.

Actually, their DreamCompute is only $9/month which is more reasonable. But why didn't they mention that?

With his brush with death herself, Desòchu doesn't have long before he is faced with another trial. Can he fight for his life without the magic he had just touched?

World-Building - Magic and Trauma #WorldBuildingWednesday
https://d.moonfire.us/blog/2019/11/20-magic-and-trauma/

Last week, I wrote a short story called I Will Hurt You Only Once. This is a story about Gichyòbi telling his young daughter about the rite of passage into adulthood such as Rutejìmo's in Sand and Blood. Both of these are about how trauma affects magic in the world of Fedran.
